The water park does not open until Memorial Day Weekend (Memorial days falls on May 26, 2014.) and will be open every day from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. through Labor Day (September 1, 2014).

This year one of the big new spectacles will be a seven-story thrill coaster called the Brain Drain. It looks epic.

For more than 120 years, Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park is a must-see destination for all locals, visitors and families. Operating on 63 acres, Elitch Gardens is America’s only downtown theme and water park. Since 1890, visitors have been creating memories worth repeating right in the heart of Denver.
